interesting seeingh games with marketing doing better on the opposite system.

Battlefront and CoD has sony marketing but sold better on xb1.

While fallout and fifa/madden did better on ps4 with ms marketing.

It seems that sonys lego marketing. worked while ms rainbow 6 marketing worked.

How did Marvel avengers suddenly change Lego series performance to PS4 domination? Or am I confusing it with another franchise and ps4 always was 1?

X1 below 150k is kinda bad. Though I didn't really expect more so I guess it depends how far from 150 it is

Sony PR says impressive YoY growth... Smart enough to not give a %, unfortunately for us.

PS4 up YOY. XB1, Wii U, and 3DS are down YOY.

PS4: >189K
XB1: <153K
Wii U: <48K
3DS: <72K

GAF's aggregate

OUCH!!!  apart from ps4 everything is bad. 

Gotta love Neogaf threads :) small hints until the final numbers.



May only be high 200s. I'd say any growth over 40% would be impressive according to Sony, so that makes it 270K+. Makes VGC substantially overtracked.

Aye? The Jan 2015 NPD thread says 192K. Sure it's only 3K but where's 189K from?

Wow, GTA V at second place. That's just plain insane. Will it ever stop to sell?

Yes...probably when GTAVI comes out.

Lego series has usually sold better on xbox I think, but iirc, Marvel Avengers had Playstation marketing. Might be a smart move by Sony to get more of the younger market, so perhaps they'll continue these marketing deals for Lego games.

WTF ?, how Wii U,  sold less than 48k ?, i thought that would sell  more or less 80k and the 3DS, more than 100k.



So pretty much everything is over tracked. Still wow YOY growth for the PS4 is a great way to start what SHOULD be it's peak year imo.

Not only do they have marketing, they also have exclusive content. The upcoming Star Wars lego game will also have exclusive content for PlayStation platforms.
